Frasier ran on NBC from 1993 to 2004 as a spin-off from Cheers, following psychiatrist Frasier Crane in Seattle. Its closing theme, Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs, was performed by star Kelsey Grammer and became closely tied to the character's cultured, neurotic persona. As the show found new audiences through streaming and clips shared online, the theme turned into a shorthand for intellectual pretension and old-fashioned elegance. Creators now reuse its opening notes whenever they want that association without explaining the joke.
